As Pakistan goes to polls today, anti-India rhetoric seems to have taken center-stage as PTI candidate Imran Khan's speeches are laced with anti-India venom. And Khan is not alone; brother of ousted leader Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif, leading the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) has also spewed venom against India. The two parties are contesting mainly against Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's, Pakistan People's Party (PPP). This is only the second time that Pakistan is going to polls in its 71-year-old history. The possibility of a fair and free election is remote, analysts said.
